My aunt came to town this weekend for my birthday (early). It was really nice to spend time with my favorite aunt. It's a lot like she's mom #2 to me and in many ways we're so similar that it's surprising I'm not her son. Great diversion from the grim economy news that keeps filtering into my brain.

Nothing much to report. Today turned cooler and rainy, fall must be around the corner and I hear winter follows shortly after that. I can't bring myself to study my Spanish for my Spanish class tonight. It's like I"m back in college, every Monday, as I start to procrastinate on doing 'homework.' Then I remind myself that I'm "only hurting myself" but procrastinating because I PAID for this class and actually WANT to take it.

Anyway, in an effort to procrastinate further, here's an unexpected picture of a policeman on a horse in the middle of Chicago. It made me grin because it seemed so out of place so I took a picture of it while I was driving.. and then probably ran over some people/broke some laws in the process of attempting to snap pics and drive. Good thing that cop can't catch up to a car on a horse! He's got one horse, apparently my car has the power of about 300.
